Just curious who has done this.
What you used.
Why
Did you know it had parasites.
Did you know what parasite it had.
Did you just use as a preventive.

I got in the habbit of just using Prazi as a preventative for all the WC Marbles I've aquired. Have 2 here now that are being treated cause they just seem to look normal after eating. They poof up from eating then a while later they look skinny again. Don't seem to hold the weight on. IF these types of meds weren't really safe I don't think they'd encourage use as a preventative like they do, or at least I hope not....

I second the idea of Prazi as a preventative treatment.
I've also used Panacur (fenbendazole) to deworm them when they are coming out of the wild.

I use tremazol

My rays seam to love it even trying to breed directly after treatment

It's a 2 dose treatment 1st dose treat and only leave in the tank for 6-7 hours then do a 80% water change then do the same 7 days later to kill and eggs that may have hatched

It's not like treating it's like adding Viagra to the tank I treat yearly just to be safe

I have treated with prazi pro and I guess I just suspected worms. Never really was sure the ray was any better after treatment. I also tried a oral method of treatment with no luck rays cant be fooled into taking this

I keep in stock Tetra Parasite Guard. Its a broad spectrum containing 4 parasite meds
praziquantel, metronidazole, diflubenzuron and acriflavin. Have used it on rays, armatus and SDs with no ill effects.

I think most of the worm parasite treatments contain prazi it's just what's available in your area

We can't get prazi pro in the UK but can get tremazol if I could get prazi pro it would probably use that
